Hi -

Tell The Truth...

this is the message I keep getting this week...

Firstly, I'd like to acknowledge it has been a Looong time between Snips.. 

I have just overcome a fairly substantial blip in my journey... and may not have expressed the full story of what has been happening for me.

Many know, some of you won't - my thyroid decided to have a WingWang (technical speak for going very hyper, incidentally, now believe caused by taking iodine drops- the supplement) - sometime in June, peaked in mid August, and with time and a whole lot of drugs that I am now off (phew) - finally back in normal range two weeks ago... Fingers crossed it will normalise now...! 

So many people said to me - "wow, hyperthyroid, you must have tonnes on energy!", I Wish!!! Perhaps it started that way..

One thing I learned is the Thyroid is very much to do with the function of Every Cell in the body, and when it's not happy, it is pretty easy to get that!

So.. what happened: I Dropped weight (1st 2 kgs were good... then oops! - and phew, put a couple back now), felt Smashed, and Sore, like I'd been doing a marathon many days, dratt, without the endorphins, lost strength and even discovered Frail, ooo- that is a new one for me! It was daunting, I felt sad, and it was difficult at times, even scary! I pared back the unnecessary.  

In the midst of this stripping away I became very Present.

I kept putting one foot in front of the other... and rested, slept and rested when I needed it. With Grace, managed to keep working, seeing clients, and was given work opportunities to create and do  teaching work. I am so grateful to be able to do this amazing work that we do - it is the lifeblood of who I am...

As I am grateful for all of the magnificent support around me - the hugs, the laughter, the love, the Launches onto waves so I could still get a few, the not making too big of it, and perhaps the making big of it when needed... Marley to have a snooze with and keeping us going with daily walks...Andy ever there for whatever I needed.....I am in Awe for you that fill my life with such richness.

This experience has lessons aplenty and many silver linings... and I will happily share what has been given so freely to me, unpacked one bite at a time..

​For now, thanks for reading this 'wordfest', the beginning of my latest chapter. I look forward to sharing more, and may it be useful for you too!

All the best,

Pam

PS I am away from Nov 13-29 visiting family in Seattle. If you want to see me before I go please let me know ASAP, otherwise I will be back and working in December up until Chrissy.
